Amusement Today announced that Knoebels Amusement Resort was the winner of its 2016 Golden Ticket Awards, during a recent event at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. The awards annually recognize the “Best of the Best” in the amusement industry and are calculated from an international poll.
The results come from a survey that is sent to a database of experienced and well-traveled amusement park fans around the world asking them to rate the “bests” in 25 categories.
Knoebels Amusement Resort received the award for “Best Food,” and “Best Carousel” for its Grand Carousel. The Phoenix roller coaster made its highest showing ever as the second best wooden roller coaster in the world.
In addition to the first place awards, Knoebels also placed for Third Best Halloween Event; Fourth Best Park; Fourth Friendliest Park; Fourth Best Dark Ride for its Haunted Mansion; and Fifth Best Indoor Roller Coaster for its Black Diamond. Flying Turns and Twister also made a showing in the “Top 50 Wooden Roller Coasters” category at numbers 41 and 47, respectively.
